    Any suggestions on the integration of Dynamics CRM 2011 and System Center Service Manager 2012 ?

    I am looking for side-by-side integration like this:

    1. A ticket in CRM is entered I want it to be entered in Service Manager.

    2. Once a ticket is updated in SM we'd like that reflected in CRM. 

    3. If ticket is updated in CRM should be reflected in SM.

    [Tickets originating in SM moved to CRM is not a requirement.]

    Please suggest some guidance around this topic :)

    Interesting concept/idea Nikita. 

    Matching the attributes/values from a CRM ticket to Service Manager ticket could be a challenge I guess.

    In CRM a case type is just a attribute (picklist) of the incident entity in the Service Module. But in SM every type is a class with it's own properties

    Anton,

    Thank you for your suggestions. I was thinking custom workflows on ticket create/update from both side could syncronize based on mutual GUID through a property. But was hoping for some accelerators to help me out with this task.

    Expiscornovus,

    I was thinking that a ticket can originate in CRM and with a specific type be then have a twin in SCSM created.

    Details to sync could be very basic maybe just ticket status and notes, other fields can be carried over as just text - Client, Client Contact Name, Client Contact Information 

    Assigment of who is working on the ticket could be kept internal to SCSM and in CRM a generic account owns the ticket.

    Nikita,

    I'm currently in the process of integrating CRM with Service Manager. I'm actually using Anton his approach, using Orchestrator 2012 runbooks.

    Basicly I am creating a runbook that queries the database of CRM (via the filtered views) and with that data I am creating objects in Service Manager (via the Service Manager integration pack)

    We are starting the same integration. Would you be interested in sharing what you are doing? Or possibly working together on this?

    Hello Rick,

    I could create one (or more) blogpost(s) about it if you want?
